Semi-protected edit request on 21 July 2023
In order to 1) explain the use of the word "scuffle" and 2) explain how blackmail came from this, please add quote from stated source. Change...

From: In 1999, Crowe was involved in a scuffle at the Plantation Hotel in Coffs Harbour, which was caught on a security camera.[91] Two men were acquitted of using the video in an attempt to blackmail him.[92]

To: In 1999, Crowe was involved in a scuffle at the Plantation Hotel in Coffs Harbour, which was caught on a security camera."About 3am, as the video shows, the then 35-year-old actor was involved in a melee, arguing heatedly with a woman and kissing a man who tries to calm him down." [91] Two men were acquitted of using the video in an attempt to blackmail him.[92] Papermagepk (talk) 02:57, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: Adding that sentence from the source word-to-word would be a copyright infringement. Deauthorized. (talk) 20:14, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree that it is not clear why he was blackmailed over the event, so I have added further clarification. It is sufficiently different to the original text so I hope this addresses both concerns. If neither party is satisfied feel free to revert without prejudice and we will negotiate alternative wording here. Betty Logan (talk) 01:14, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * As the text is now (on the published page), it again makes no sense, i.e. it's completely unclear how and why he would be blackmailed.
 * You could just combine the two versions;
 * In 1999, Crowe was involved in a heated argument at the Plantation Hotel in Coffs Harbour, during which he also kissed a man who was trying to calm him down. Two men/employees were aquitted of using the video in an attempt to blackmail Crowe. JoostvG (talk) 12:27, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

In the Personal Life - Altercations section: third paragraph, about the BAFTAS. So why was Crowe's segment cut? For time reasons or for copyright reasons? JoostvG (talk) 12:30, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

 * I'm not so invested in the story that I plan to redo the research of the original poster. They are the one(s) who should amend this paragraph. JoostvG (talk) 16:31, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Emojis!?
Wait, you're using Australian and American flag emojis when distinguishing between American and Australian dollars in this article!? I've never seen that elsewhere on Wikipedia! Zakawer (talk) 07:30, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
